Question

While filling a pool 144centimeters deep, Fiona notices it has taken 2 hours to fill it up to a depth of 36 centimeters. 1a At what rate, in meters per hour, is the pool being filled up? Leave your answer as a decimal.

Answer 1

Rate at which pool is getting filled
`0.18` m/hr

Explanation:

Given

Depth up to which the pool gets filled in two hours is equal to
`36` centimeter

As we know

One meter
`= 100` centimeter

So
`36` centimeter is equal to
`0.36` meter

Rate at which pool is getting filled is equal to height up to which water is filled in 2 hours divided by time taken

Rate at which pool is getting filled
`(0.36)/(2) = 0.18` m/hr
